Add to that the Democrat Partys continuing move to the left. We are already seeing an alliance between the Democrats and Democratic Socialists and could expect more socialist candidates of Bernie Sanders ilk running as Democrats.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., blasted Trumps decision when he announced it in December, declaring that moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem now may needlessly spark mass protests, fuel tensions, and make it more difficult to reach a durable peace. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., did the same, declaring, The future of Jerusalem is an issue that should be decided by Israel and the Palestinians, not unilaterally by the United States. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., called Trumps embassy move a setback while former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., declared that Trumps action would severely, perhaps irreparably damage peace efforts.

Keep in mind, the past four Democratic Party platforms had called for the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. And last June, the Senate voted 90-0 (with the support of Feinstein, Murphy and Sanders) for a resolution that reaffirms the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, which mandated the embassy move (a bill that passed two decades ago with Pelosis vote).

And not one single Democrat attended. Not one. The author's point was that the country is perfectly justified in seeing this as petulant and outrageous hypocrisy, and he is completely correct. These people don't belong in government, they belong in a playpen.
